Workload - Classroom learning : 60 h + online self-paced learning
Q1 - The course is divided into 4 themes linked to daily life:
- Receptive activities: written and oral texts and exercices on the comprehension of these.
- Oral production activites about field-related themes. Each theme will be followed by discussions, role plays and debates giving the student the possibility to use the newly acquired vocabulary and structures. Development of presentation skills in Dutch.
- Written production activities: writing short texts and e-mails.
- We will also continue to work on grammar points, likely to cause difficulties to French-speaking learners.
The classroom activities require a certain amount of preparation on the part of the student (exercises, vocabulary, …)
In case of justified absence (for example due to illness), the certificate must be sent to the president of the jury, to the faculty secretariat with a copy of the professor and course coordinator.
Article 103. – Any student registered for the exams who is unable to appear before one or more of them shall promptly notify the president of the jury and the faculty administration of the reason for his absence. No later than the day following the end of the impediment, he or she shall submit to the faculty administration the original of any supporting documents, that is to say a medical certificate or any other document whose probative value is left to the sovereign discretion of the president of the jury. However, where that day is a Saturday, a Sunday, 27 September or a public holiday, the day of delivery of the documents shall be postponed to the next earliest day which is not one of these days.
We remind you that in case of absence, even justified, from an exam, you will not be able to present this exam at another date during the session.
Indeed, the possibility of taking an exam at a later date, during the session, in case of justified absence is not conceivable, pursuant to the General Regulations for Studies and Exams of the UCLouvain, only when it is not possible to present this exam at a later session in the academic year.

Evaluation methods
Depending on the health context and the availability of large auditoriums, paper-based and oral assessments can be postponed to the session and/or can be done on PC (e.g. onTeams).
Q1
Q2 - final grade
Permanent assessment Q2 if in the student's favour (3/20), otherwise we will disregard it and count only the written exam (12/20) and the oral exam (8/20).
All evaluation parts are mandatory. However, an absence (without official justification) from a permanent evaluation test will result in a '0' for this same test; an absence from a partial or written exam and/or oral exam will imply an absence score for the entire evaluation and the student will therefore be prohibited from enrolling in the other parts of the evaluation.
In case of justified absence (for example due to illness), the certificate must be sent to the president of the jury, to the faculty secretariat with a copy of the professor and course coordinator.
